Michelin Primacy 3 vs Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season — Compared

“By far the biggest determinant in road noise will be the road surface, as you found, and no tire will overcome that basic fact. That is so obvious in my area where there are new sections of highway interspersed with old sections. Having said that, I'm running the older Michelin Primacy 3 ST tires on 17 inch wheels on my 2021 ES300h and they are great, compared to the Turanza I was running on 19 inch wheels on the same car. The Michelin Primacy Tour A/S should be even better in this regard. Not sure, but perhaps the higher profile of the 17 inch tires (215/55R17 vs 235/40R19) also helps reduce road noise.”

“Currently riding on Michelin Primacy 3 ZP run flats that originally came with the car. Have approximately 15k miles on it and Mercedes are already recommending I purchase new rear tires. What other options would you recommend as replacements? I would like all season tires that last much longer but also don't want to compromise the comfort and ride. Front tire: 245/40 R19 Rear tire: 275/35 R19”

“I've got a similar issue with my rear-left having nearly 0.9 mm less central tread than the others, all at same pressure from cold. Suspect it's just due to the way sunlight falls on the car where I park it, warming up that corner over time just enough to raise its pressure before every trip. Either that or a quality issue with the manufacturer custom-made T0 from Michelin (Primacy 3 in my case).”

“All Season tyres Finding All Season tyres for my EV9 is proving to be an impossible task. Apparently this tyre size is unusual. I only found Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season (113V, LR) which is not an EV tyre but in fact intended for Land Rover. And it's not 3PMSF (real winter certification required in places like Germany). Anyone has some experience with this? Or is everyone with summer+winter tyres set up. Thank you!”

“I've had the very same tire on my Q5. They were very good the first 60% of their life, and then one went out of round. I had to shave and replace it out of warranty. Until then they were fairly quiet. Wear and wet traction was fine. Slipped a bit in ice, but admittedly I am partial to snow tires in very cold weather.”

“My sister put the CC2 on her RAV4 Hybrid. She did notice a hit in MPG but she also said she is ok with that since she has a lot better grip and less noise than whatever was on it new. She just did a round trip from NY to TN and commented how nice it was for road noise and when it poured. She did experience one snow and was very happy with them. I have the Pirelli P7 AS+2 on my Accord and Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS+2 on my daughters CRV. Both are a lot quieter than previous tires and ride great (GY Weatherready and Defender T&H). Bought the Pirelli’s because of noise ratings and reviews. I would not hesitate based on them to get the Pirelli AS3 but I run full winters on my vehicles. CC2 or a Nokian all weather would probably be my choice if I was doing a one tire.”
